cool, humidified oxygen is given to relieve dyspnea, hypoxemia, and insensible

tachypnea. the infant should be positioned with the head and chest elevated at
a 30- to 40-degree angle and the neck slightly extended to maintain an open
airway and decrease pressure on the diaphragm. the etiology of bronchiolitis is
viral. antibiotics are given only if there is a secondary bacterial infection.
tachypnea increases insensible fluid loss. if the infant is tachypneic, fluids are
given parenterally to prevent dehydration.
2. an infant with bronchiolitis is hospitalized. the causative organism is
respiratory syncytial virus (rsv). the nurse knows that a child infected with this
virus requires what type of isolation?
